Using VRealize to install agent on new vms with API but has stopped working after recent updates.

Using VRealize to install agent on new vms with API but has stopped working after recent updates. Now when listing resources the installing agent screen displays and then works. If this manual process is not done all the plugins are never installed and monitoring is not completely setup correctly. This is the point of the automation to no longer need to run manual steps. Any help is appreciated. Opened a ticket with support but was sent to THWACK to get the answer - Case # - 00887421 Since API is not fully supported - Support for Orion SDK and other API-related tools (solarwinds.com)

Can you provide the following?

Her you go... The outcome is to get the installation of the agent to complete without manual intervention. This was working on 2019.4.2.

Orion Platform - 2020.2.6

API to Create node
API to Add 9 pollers to node
API to Deploy agent - it is not installing all plugins. When listing resources a popup that the agent software is still installing and the rest of the plugins install and the node works after this happens.

trying to reply with the details but keeps seeing the api details as spam is there a better way to work on this problem?

Use "Insert/Code" to past these kinds of details.

Here's a print screen after the agent is installed from vra and after listing resources within solarwinds to finish the agent install. You can see the remaining plugins install and then the agent starts working correctly. Double checked and .net 4.8 is installed
